The Authour to the Printer.
I Vnderstand that you have a perfect Copy
of a Treatise, Entituled, An Antidote
against Lay-Preaching: or, The Prea∣chers
Plea. It was intended for the sa∣tisfaction
of a private friend, and of such to whom
hee pleased to communicate it. The importunity of
some who have seen it, hath prevailed with me, not to
be against its Printing. Doe therefore your duty, if
you conceive (either by your selfe, or some others) that
thereby some abler Pen-man may be awaked, the Mi∣nistry
encouraged, the contrary minded better in∣structed,
the Churches peace and Gods glory more
promoted.
Your friend,
I. B.
